Please help us to make the Wythe Men’s Group a more active form of Ministry…We are gathering in the Wythe Fellowship Hall (instead of the Oasis). Breakfast will be provided by some very generous Wythe members the 2nd Saturday of each month.We follow breakfast with a devotion/lesson.The biggest and most important change to our Men’s Ministry is the addition of simple SERVICE projects for Wythe members and friends. These projects could be household repairs, lawn maintenance, light bulb changing, etc, etc. With the hope of some bigger and more ambitious projects in the future, as the program matures.The point is that we want to serve and help Wythe members and friends who need it. We would like to strive to help ease the burden on members who are ill, infirm, or facing challenges around the house. We Can Do It!Please contact the church office or a Wythe Men's Group member for more information or to set up service assistance.

This is the story of our church and how we began...In January 1921, the Wythe Chapel began as an outpost Sunday School. Mr. W. H. Rohrbach, Mr. Alexander McCrea, and Mr. E. B. Eberly from the Session of the First Presbyterian Church in Newport News, VA. with several Sunday School teachers came out to the Wythe Chapel on Cottonwood Ave., Hampton, VA at 3 pm to hold Sunday School Classes. Miss Ruth Neff came to play the piano. This continued for 19 years. On Nov. 10, 1940, the Wythe Chapel was organized into Wythe Presbyterian Church. We were self supporting, and chartered by Norfolk Presbytery, (now Presbytery of Eastern Virginia). Dr. W. E. Davis was ordained as the Pastor-Evangelist in charge. We began a building fund and completed construction of our own building nine years later. We moved into our new building in Sept. 1949.The charter members are as follows: Mrs. John Bolt Mrs. Bert Johnson Miss Frances E. Austin (Wolf) Miss Bernice V. Austin (Matthews) Miss Frances Eggleston (Thompson) Miss Grace Zenter Mrs. E. M. Daley Mrs. Blaine Crum (Mercedes) Mrs. T. R. Austin (Katie) Mrs. C. T. Eagle (Lila) Mrs. L. C. Smith (Alma) Mrs. N. A. Adams (Catherine) Mrs. J. F. Haughwout (Alberta) Mrs. C. A. Schmidt (Cassie) Mr. & Mrs. Albert Gsell< Mr. & Mrs. Frank Eggleston Mr. Luther Eggleston Mr. & Mrs. Percy Sutton Mr. & Mrs. Louis Davis Mr. W. H. Rohrbach Mr. Clifton DavisIn the evening at 7:30 pm, alternating Seminary Students came from Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA to preach. To name a few: Mr. Charles Pratt, Mr. Reverly, Mr. John Walker, and Mr. Reynal.As you walk through the halls of our church today, you can view the portraits of our dear Pastors through the years. Rev. Howatt E. Mallinson - Apr. 1953 - Oct. 1979 Rev. Kenneth Boyer - Apr. 1980 - Apr. 1991 Rev. J. Mark Stanley - Aug. 1992 - Aug. 1996 Rev. Suzy Cothran - 1999 - Dec. 2009 There are a few more additions to the original building, like the fellowship hall and wheelchair ramp, but the charm of the original building can still be appreciated in the Sanctuary. We welcome you to partake of the warm, rich feeling of our church home and congregation at Wythe.

Located just three blocks from the beautiful Hampton Roads Waterway, Wythe Presbyterian Church seeks to GLORIFY GOD by inviting the Holy Spirit into our worship. We seek dynamic and enriching worship by adding a variety of approaches to our services. We seek to GROW DISCIPLES by welcoming and nurturing all who come to church. We applaud diversity and desire our congregation to mirror the diversity around us. We are working to create skills to attract and assimilate visitors so that they too can grow in faith and love. We are constantly creating opportunities to reach the unchurched around us. We seek to GIVE of OURSELVES by serving God’s people. We seek to reach out to those in need in our congregation, community and world. We actively strive to increase opportunities for mission locally, regionally, nationally and internationally
